Proper care extends the life and appearance of your trainers:
Cleaning:
Uppers (Synthetic Leather/Textile): Gently wipe dirt and grime with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush or cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Mesh: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soapy water to gently scrub dirt from the mesh areas.
Laces: Remove and hand wash separately with mild soap and water, then air dry.
Inside: Remove insoles (if removable) and air them out. Wipe the inside with a damp cloth if necessary.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials. Stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
Avoid: Do not machine wash or machine dry, as this can damage the shoe's structure and materials. Do not submerge them in water for extended periods.
